    Well one day, when I was watching the Championship Gaming Series, i notice that a game of Counter Strike is always played. I never played Counter Strike before and so I wanted to forge the map, Dust 2 to allow players who hasn't played Counter Strike before to play a replica in Halo 3.

    When I first got the idea in mid-August, i notice that I would need some major geo-merging skills for this project. Skills of which I tried to practice, and failed miserably. Geo-merging is just way too hard. I already have a collection of pictures in which I will use to create this map, but I think I'll need some help with this.

    I notice that there are multiple versions of the map, Dust. I "think" I've found the correct, latest map of Dust 2. Here are some picks:

    If anybody is confident in their geo-merging skills and would like to help create this epic competitive map, please leave your feedback here!

    P.S. If I don't have the pictures of the latest Dust 2 map, can someone help me find some. Im aslo thinking about starting this project next saturday...not guaranteed though.

    I have to say that this is way too big for it to be any good on Foundry. If you want to make this worth your time, I suggest waiting for the Mythic Map Pack because, hopefully, Sandbox will be what we're all hoping it is.

    Awww, you're ruining the mojo. Now im starting to have doubts about this. I thought that i could pulled this off, with a little bit of help. Now it seems like i can't even portion this map small enough to fit foundry while trying to keep the gamplay togethor......

    But do you still have the game? I never played the game before, the only resources i have are these pictures up there. I think this map would be really great if i know like the basic parts of the map...

    I have Counter-Strike: Source and I've played plenty of games on dust 2 in the past. Dust 2 is actually way too big for foundry...I don't think you could recreate even a small part of the map, because only having one part of that map would probably ruin it altogether. I'd say, you should probably wait for Sandbox to come out. Hopefully, it will be big enough.

    Making this map would be quite a challenge. It would probably take months of geomerging and it would be tough to recreate all of the tunnels and the sloped terrain. It's also a fairly large map, so the resources required to complete the map would probably be scarce.

    I know I am going to get flamed but I suggest you make this on Farcry. For the reason being how much better you could make it, with actual sand and a WAY bigger area, you could get a perfect scale.

    Dude, i understand Farcry 2 is coming out tommorow, but not everyone is going to have Farcry 2. Im not sure i'm going to be able to buy Farcry 2, my mind is set for Fable 2. Anyway, i want to create it with forge because of the game modes Halo provides....

    i think you can do it actually, you'll just have to shrink its proportions and cut out more than half of the map.
    i suggest doing bombsite A and the that right corner including the CT spawn and the short A area which is part of the middle that has stairs that lead to the A bombsite. also include the ramp with the double doors south of bombsite A
